ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan on Monday summoned
Indian Deputy High Commissioner J.P Singh to register strong protest
over ceasefire violations by
Indian forces along the Line of Control.
Two civilians were martyred and seven others including two children were injured in
Indian troops unprovoked firing on Sunday in Nezapir, Nikial and Karela Sectors of LoC.
The Director General (SA & SAARC), Dr Mohammad Faisal, summoned the
Indian Deputy High Commissioner and condemned the unprovoked
ceasefire violations by the
Indian occupation forces.
The
Indian forces along the Line of Control and the Working boundary are continuously targeting the civilian populated areas with heavy mortars and automatic weapons.
Senseless Indian firing at LoC
In a recent report published by the Times of India, the Indian Border Security Forces have claimed of firing over 9,000 rounds of mortar shells across the international border in Jammu.*Senior...
In 2018, the
Indian forces have carried out more than 190
ceasefire violations along the Line of Control and the Working Boundary to date, resulting in the shahadat of 13 innocent civilians, while injuring 65 others.
This unprecedented escalation in
ceasefire violations by India is continuing from the year 2017 when the
Indian forces committed 1970
ceasefire violations.
The deliberate targeting of civilian populated areas is indeed deplorable and contrary to human dignity, international human rights and humanitarian laws. The
ceasefire violations by India are a threat to regional peace and security and may lead to a strategic miscalculation.
The Director General (SA & SAARC) urged the
Indian side to respect the 2003
ceasefire arrangement; investigate this and other incidents of
ceasefire violations; instruct the
Indian forces to respect the ceasefire, in letter and spirit and maintain peace and tranquility on the LoC and the Working Boundary.
He urged that the
Indian side should permit UNMOGIP to play its mandated role as per the UN Security Council resolutions.*
